Tuesday's Sound Off

All these reports come out every week about unemployment, home sales and everything else and it always says they’re seasonably adjusted. What does seasonably adjusted amount to because it’s always a week or so later they come out and say it’s different than what they reported. In other words they’re seasonably adjusting these things to make it sound good for the government and our present administration.

Does anyone know what’s going on with the unemployment number? I tried for two days on the 888 number and also the other numbers and from 7 a.m. on they’re busy. I don’t think that many people are out of unemployment to be opening up a new claim. I wonder if they take it off the hook so they don’t have to answer any questions. Anybody know what’s going on with it?

There’s an old saying that figures lie and liars figure. Between now and the election you will hear a lot of lying and figuring. But the bottom line is if your household income is in turmoil, would you go to a person who has made money, invested money, knows how to handle money or would you go to a community organizer from Chicago?

What do you mean no voter fraud? My sister lives in Port Charlotte, Florida, and in the 2008 election told me she saw people being given cartons of cigarettes and money to vote Democrat outside of the election building. If poll sites are not monitored, at least we need photo ID cards with expiration dates.

LET’S ROLL

Obama just met with JayZ, Beyonce, David Letterman and he met with some guy dressed as a pirate in the White House. Now both Obamas are going to be on The View yet he didn’t have the time to meet with the Israeli prime minister. Israel is our only ally that can be trusted in the Middle East.

TIME FOR THE CHANGE

What have we the people to lose? We the people have played the donkey and elephant game long enough to figure the D.C. donkeys get richer and the D.C. elephants get richer and we the people, we are making bricks without straw.

THE LAST STRAW

It’s time right now to stop bickering and arguing between Republicans and Democrats. We all must work in harmony on two major problems - our economy and our security. We as Americans must resolve to achieve solutions to our problems and help each other to achieve them. If we don’t, our country is doomed.

AN AMERICAN PATRIOT

I’d like to retract my three thank you’s for the paving job on Washington Street. All they did was put a Band-aid on the pig by just paving the center strip of the street and leaving the two sides unpaved. It looks ridiculous, cheap job. Guess that’s the way the borough works.

If you noticed now that Mitt Romney’s down in a lot of polls, he’s changing his position on a lot of issues. He’s changing his position on health care, on people coming in from other countries. How soon he will change back if he gets elected. So he’s a flip flopper. Do not vote for him.

The last golf tournament I watched Tiger Woods’ name was said 1,302 times by the announcers. Phil Nicholson’s name was mentioned 26 times and he actually ended up scoring better than Tiger did. I get sick of hearing Tiger, Tiger, Tiger even when he’s lousy. I swear the announcers are getting some sort of payoff to say his name. I just wish they would be more equal. Just like our politicians should be more equal to each other.

HOPE EVERYONE HAS A HOLE IN ONE TODAY

I also attended Barth’s parent evening. I was very discouraged seeing the construction chained, locked. It was very disturbing. As a parent I don’t feel comfortable with my child in that school.

CONCERNED PARENT

Election time is almost here and it will be time to vote. Whoever you choose to represent us locally, just ask yourself if they have produced anything for us in these last years. A big consideration for me is property taxes. We know what has not been done about that so vote your conscience but also look at the record of the candidates and choose wisely.

The families of the police officers who were recently killed have my deepest sympathy. I think it is a shame that the officers or anybody who serves the public are recognized for all their good deeds after they’ve died. They should be recognized when they’re alive and have more articles of the good things that they do while serving the public.

This is for take me for my word. I remember the senior Bush saying, “Read my lips, no new taxes.” Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
